Lately the fake threats have had a purpose. Like to help a person skip a test or graduation. I would think this is no different. The Twitter account is odd though and you would think the person who made it will get caught. I'm glad it wasn't a real attack. I hope they catch the person responsible.

More than likely, though after Facebooks discovery I doubt it's continuing. The perpetrator made a stupid choice if he trolled the cops through social media, or his personal phone, that's one of the easiest ways for cops to discover your location. I hope no human was hurt during this prank.

So, a pre-paid smart phone, with not even a name connected to it, would still end up getting caught? How? Is the NSA utilizing crystal balls and tarot card readers?

If he paid with cash, maybe* so, but if he used either check or plastic, there wouldn't be a problem.

*I'm not sure how much the banks and stores are into recording serial numbers on bills. If they know where the money goes, then at some point it was likely that you had to be handed the bill by a bank or store or something, in which case they might be able to narrow it down considerably, perhaps to the point where they could get you on a security cam. But . . . I dunno . . . it's just my $0.02.

Lolol. Location is always logged for instance put in a number to Reverse Phone Lookup | Free Reverse Lookup by Privacy Star they used to show the gps location of a call also the location would be logged for internet access site. Like that one dude who couldn't keep away from the internet to gloat in the media feeding frenzy about him (magnotta) they'll end up screwing up.
